Here is my reading wishlist until the end of year.
I've somehow gotten caught up in the magic of historical fiction. It all started with Amish's "The Immortals of Meluha', where the author has spun a delightful web of fact, mystery, history and mythology around a pacy storyline. A quick check on the web got me some more books in the same vein.
--> The Rozabal Line - Jesus after crucifixion settling down in India? Sounds interesting!
--> The Secret of the Nagas (Absolutely thrilling sequel to 'The Immortals of Meluha' in the Shiva trilogy. This book, by ex-investment banker newbie Amish, has really come together fascinatingly. Hindus, especially, will have a ball while reading the story as they see mythological stories told by their grandmas come to life under slightly different circumstances.) -
Done.
--> Chanakya’s Chant (Brilliant concept.Promises to be exciting!)
--> Anna Hazare – The Fakir who moved a country (Less than a month, and news about Anna has already subsided. But during his time, he was right up there in the center. I want to know more about him and his work until now.)
--> The Vault of Shiva (by Andy McDermott. Interesting premise. Let me pick it up and then appraise you on this)
--> All other books by Andy McDermott (I want to give this author a try. I'm not going to lie. It was his books' racy titles that got me all curious. But then, I liked what I saw)
--> The Cobra (I simply love Fredrick Forsyth's attention to detail and his meticulousness)
I had thought of a few more. But will write about it in a bit.
Ciao!
